Women’s resilience to food price volatility: A policy response

Rural women, traditionally responsible for providing food and health in the household, face major constraints in fulfilling their roles, rendering them more vulnerable to food price spikes. This discussion paper points to two aspects that, in general terms, reduce women’s ability to absorb and respond to shocks in a high and volatile food price setting: the inequalities that create a gender gap in rural development and women’s traditional roles in society and the household. 25 pp.
